The Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art attracts nearly as many visitors as other leading galleries like the Louvre or the British Museum. Its roughly 2 million works of art and artifacts cover everything from ancient Egypt to modern art. From the Great Hall, you’ll see the museum’s most important galleries. Pass through the Medieval Europe gallery on your way to the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace. Explore armory form the Middle Ages, including pieces worn by Henry VIII. The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the famed portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware. A host of European painters including Vermeer, Picasso, and Van Gogh await you as you learn about their troubled yet exciting lives. All the while, your guide will explain how this iconic American museum differs from its older European counterparts, especially since it began before the United States was even 100 years old. Highlights generally include: (if artwork is not on loan or being restored) Henry VIII armor, Tiffany Autumn landscape, Chicago Stock Exchange Stairs, Madame X, Pop culture then and now, Hudson River School,  Washington Crossing the Delaware, Jan Vermeer, Madonna with Child, Picasso, Seurat, Van Gogh, and more.

Mark V gave us not only great info about the art and the Met but also back stories that only a true New Yorker and artist himself would know. Thanks for a great day!

During a mid-June 2019 trip to New York, my partner and I spent nearly three hours touring the Met with Babylon Tour guide, Mark Venaglia. In a weekend full of highlights - an hour at Christie's viewing David Gilmour's guitar collection, a morning at the MoMA before opening to public, and meals at some of NY's best restaurants - our time with Mark outshone everything else. Mark is a font of knowledge and insight - not just about the incredible art at the Met, but also about the Met itself - which is just as interesting and provocative as the art. Mark knows the space intimately. Several times on the tour, he led us to spots where it felt like we had the entire museum to ourselves. What a treat. Could not recommend this tour enough. It sounds like the other guides are just as wonderful, but hopefully you get paired up with Mark like we did.

We had a wonderful tour with Robin, she was extremely knowledgable and personable. It was the best way to get a view of an amazing museum without trying to find the best spots on your own. Robin was great about keeping in contact prior to the event meet up until we left her at the end of the tour. Great tour - HIGHLY recommend!
